Manchester Utd – Chelsea

The London club will definitely take points from Manchester.

Ruben Amorim has only been at the helm of Manchester United for ten months, yet the Portuguese coach has encountered a fate similar to many of his predecessors. In light of the current season's start, the global football community is discussing the prospects of the 40-year-old specialist's imminent dismissal. Media outlets frequently feature legendary Manchester United players critiquing the current state of affairs at the 'Red Devils'. Recently, Peter Schmeichel, Jamie O'Hara, and David Beckham have voiced their critical opinions. Naturally, the perception of Manchester United's failures has intensified after their heavy defeat to Manchester City. While United are denying the possibility of Amorim's sacking, the calendar does not seem to be in the Portuguese's favour. The 'Red Devils' will next face Chelsea, whose players will arrive in Manchester with a chip on their shoulders. The 'Blues' clearly did not expect to suffer a two-goal defeat in Munich. Betting agencies have not identified a clear favourite for the upcoming match offering slightly lower odds for the visitors' victory. Manchester United spent a quarter of a billion euros on squad reinforcement in the offseason. The entire sum went on Mbeumo from Brentford, Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton, Šeško from Leipzig, and goalkeeper Lammens from Antwerp. Meanwhile, fairly high-quality players have left the club and quickly started to shine in other teams: Rashford, Antony, Højlund. Most notably, United profited significantly from Garnacho, sold to their upcoming opponent. At the start of the season, Manchester United was eliminated from the EFL Cup, lost to Arsenal and Manchester City, drew with Fulham, and only defeated Burnley due to a penalty in stoppage time of the second half. There seems to be no end in sight to such a low level of performance from Amorim's team. Chelsea won the Club World Cup last summer and significantly strengthened their squad. It can't be said that 'the Blues' under Enzo Maresca look like a ready-made team for winning trophies in the Champions League and Premier League. However, Chelsea is progressing and delivering results at the level of the top five in English football. The London club has not lost any of their four league matches. They will not back down in the match at Old Trafford either.
